Virus:Win32/Mewsei.B

Aliases :

Explanation :

This threat spreads by infecting files on network and removable drives.

It does this by traversing all the drives on the infected system from A:\ to Z:\. Once an accessible location is found the virus searches for .exe files and starts the infection.

The virus makes a copy of itself in the target drive and appends its payload and an encrypted host file in a new portable executable (PE) overlay. It updates the icon and version information of the new file and renames it.
